Amanda Crawshaw Acupuncture & Wellbeing

 I’m Amanda and I have been caring for people’s health since 2002.  My Acupuncture practice is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM); an ancient medicine system which treats you holistically by recognising how your body, mind and emotions can impact your quality of life.  During our first session together, we agree on an personalised treatment plan where I combine my skills to mange your health complaint and bring you back to optimum health, or to use as prevention.

I’ve always been interested in ancient medicine, traditional cultures and old ways; instinctively I feel we’re looking to the wisdom of these ways to remind us how to heal ourselves and our planet. Simply put, I’m trying to help people come back to balance within themselves, in their lives and their environment. 

Shiatsu found me during the late 90’s, a path shown to me I will be forever grateful for. Since then, my other modalities have included Massage and Acupuncture, blending all these within my sessions to offer a truly individual treatment plan for each client. I’ve specialised in fertility and pregnancy in both acupuncture and shiatsu over a 10 year span, and now I’m moving towards menopause. I’m deepening my TCM knowledge to offer Acupuncture for perimenopause and menopause, to offer in my clinics. I’m also very excited to be training with Red School; developing a deep awareness of how to work with our menstrual cycles and cyclical living during and post menopause. This work honours the emotional, psychological and spiritual initiation we go through during this life phase and it’s my intention to become a menstruality and menopause mentor over the next year. This offering will be also online, as well as face to face in clinic.

During my time as a practitioner, I have developed and managed a wellbeing centre in the centre of Leeds, offered treatments in the workplace, and set up two private clinics; one in North Leeds, where I was based for more than 20 years. These days, my clinic is close to where I live in Bronte Country. I love to create and nurture a small team of practitioners in my clinics in the work they do, and I feel exceptionally lucky that I have some wonderful women working with me in Keighley.
